Bad flooding is happening and one dam, the Waterville Dam in Tennessee has burst, and they have called out all the emergency people that they can to try and save lives. They warned ahead of time that it was looking like the dam might not hold, so hopefully, people had a chance to escape before the dam burst. When you look at the map for the Newport, TN area, most of the roads are marked red (closed), the town is flooded, and the I-40 highway from Tennessee to North Carolina has completely washed out in at least one place. Another dam by Lake Lure, in North Carolina, is also under warnings that they do not know if it can hold up in the flooding.
